SUNGLASS HUT SAYS PUT THEM ON


Fancy stepping out in a touch of Tom Ford or a bit of Burberry? Well now you can, thanks to Sunglass Hut, whose new Put Them On campaign is all about transforming appearances and influencing personality. Launching on May 6 in the UK, the global campaign will position the Luxottica-owned group as the destination for luxury sun eyewear. While the label already boasts Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Bulgari and Prada in its repertoire, we're most excited about its latest addition: Tiffany & Co. All you have to do now is work out who you want to be - Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O…?

GWYNETH´S HIGH HEELS

On her latest promotional tour for "Iron Man" Gwyneth Paltrow has been wearing some nice but very very high heels. She definitely has the legs for all these mini dresses and sky-high heels. All these cruelling work-outs with Madonna must be paying off! If only I was friends with Madonna... Gwyneth looks absolutely great in all the pictures. I love her outfits!

These latest pictures come from Rome. Her nude lace-print stiletto heels are by Giuseppe Zanotti and cost £450,00.

Here she is in Germany. At the first picture she is wearing a pair of black lace-up patent shoe boots by Burberry that cost £495,00. At the second picture she has on classic black patent stilettos are by Christian Louboutin, costing £400,00 a pair.


And here is Gwyneth in Paris. Apparently her black and brown shoes are by little-known designer Paccini.

I BOUGHT NEW ...

... skincare products from Strawberrynet.com

I was on the roll now! Next stop was Strawberrynet.com. Again, I have read so many rewievs about this website, most of them were actually postive. This was my first time to order from this website. I ordered:

Kiehl´s Ultra Facial Moisturiser (248.50 SEK, 23 GBP)
Kiehl´s Cryste Marine Cream (Firming & Rejuvenating Treatment with Algae Extracts) (285 SEK, 26 GBP)
Kiehl´s Ultra Protection Moisturizing Eye Gel SPF 15 (248.50 SEK, 23 GBP)
As a new customer, I also got a free Lancome lipstick in a colour Rose Defile. We´ll see how that turns out. It turned out OK! It is a pink-nude tone and is good to use everyday.

Last spring I wanted to buy Burberry Summer parfume but as it was a limited edition for summer I did not get it! I really loved that scent and was really upset about it. Now I saw this perfume on Strawberrynet so I decided to buy it before it´s gone again! I bought 100 ml eau de toilet version because I figured that maybe a real perfume would be too strong for summer. Anyway, it costed 349 SEK.



So, how was it?


Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer


I have been using this for a week now and so far I am satisfied. I use this moisturizer every morning right after I have cleansed my face. You don´t need much of it, a little bit of it goes a long way. It hydrates really well but at the same time it doesn´t feel heavy, it is light and absorbes well. It does not leave any oiliness or residue which is great as I have combination skin. I think it leaves my skin dewy and healthy looking. I think the price is OK for such a good product. I woudl buy it again.









Ultra Protection Moisturizing Eye Gel SPF 15





I like that this eye cream has SPF in it. It is light-weight but it does not seem to absorb into my skin so well as seems to leave slightly greasy patches under my eyes. It seems to be just lightly moisturizing. I also have not noticed so much difference. Maybe I just need something stronger.















Cryste Marine Cream


I have been using it for 1 week now and this is what I think of it. I have combination skin. I use it as a night cream and it moisturizes my skin well and I wake up in the morning with a soft skin. It has a thick texture in the jar but it absorbs almost immediately on the skin. I quite like the fact that it sinks right in and doesn't leave an oily residue on my face but I didn't notice anything really different about my skin. it is good that Cryste Marine cream doesn't irritate my skin and that it does not make my skin break out. Although I don't dislike the product, it has not achieved any noticeable miracles. Next time I will try another product.
